Listen as glass artist William Gudenrath, describes the techniques used to create “Untitled (White)” by artist Josiah McElhany.

McElheny is an accomplished glassblower who creates installations inspired by art or glass history, often using a specific historical or literary anecdote as a point of departure. His pieces frequently are presented with slightly or heavily fictionalized, pseudo-historical narratives, or accompanied by poems or selected quotations. The installations are thoughtful compositions on the history of art, glassblowing, the making of objects, philosophy, and story.
